GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Thanks, Glo and Steve for the new thread and the call over:)
Lynn...if you need something...meds, chicken soup, babysitter for Mai, holler! Gene and I are not busy today and would be happy to help you. You've got my number♥
Good Morning and it really is a wet one
I am just signing on and will need to
read previous thread.
Check some of the cams - Wow!
Fish Head at BWE looks like a whopper!
Hi Glo and Wanda ..
Keep your feet dry!
BRB
It WAS that handsome, Dr. Hurst! LOL
It's a bit humiliating to show all your flaws and uglies to such a good-looking man! I'm old enough to be his grandmother...er, big sister, but who cares;)
Good morning all!
When do we expect the eggies to hatch?
Good Morning in Eagle Land Wanda, Margy, Hedgie, Donnie, Glo, Megan, Lori, Jo, and Lurkers.
Lynn praying you are feeling better and now that your toe heals fast.
Wanda prayers that those places just disappear and no marks left.
Margy hoping you are getting over that cough.
If Culpeper is closing Shirley will be home sooner that usual.
Glo sounds like you need prayers also for sinuses. Hope you feel better soon.
Megan is getting the needed rain for her plants. Which is good( :
I am going to buy possibly 2 plants for my daughter's child hood friend and his wife. Cardinal vine I have he fell in love with. Then I'll have to get something I think different for me this year.
Lorretta HAPPY BIRTHDAY gal ( :
Sunny you sometimes drop in here so HAPPY BIRTHDAY
FOR CORPORAL FRANK BUCKLES LAST "DOUGHBOY":
I see they are finally going to have a "local memorial service at 2pm March 16th at Zion Episcopal Churc 200 E. Congress St. Charles Town, WV.
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MAYBE THAT DAY. CAUSE IT STILL SAYS HE IS GOING TO BE BURIED MARCH 15TH at Arlington National Cemetery????
It just occurred to me why I haven't gotten any birthday lists, lately...my email address has changed and whomever sends the Momster emails doesn't know of my new address.
DANA, some families do that...have a memorial service AFTER burial.
Shows in the paper today that accident I seem yesterday when I was getting off from Interstate 81 on my exit. The pickup truck crashed into the Motel 6 sign. No life-threatening injuries.
That is the Hotel our Vicky and her husband stayed at when they came to Open House one year.
♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR NATURE GIRL, LORETTA♫♪♫♪♥
GEULA...possible eaglets this weekend!
Jo sends it out, Wanda, and I would think she would have the right addy!! Shoot her an email to be sure!!!
LOL, Wanda...I am old enough to be Hurst's mama!!
I would love to have someone keep Mai for a few days....but I would never impose her on anyone else. Of course, she might be a gem for others.....since it is ME she doesn't like! With the rain and the mud, it is a real trial....no outside exercise, plus have to go up and down basement steps to put her out so that I can let the mud track down there and not up here on the good carpet. I would love to just go to bed for 24 hrs.
Carolyn got me chicken soup!
Good wet moprning all.
Have a very Happy Birthday, Loretta.
Poor Sissy had 3 teeth cut out yesterday....she was suffering last evening.
BBL.
P.S. Dana, memorial services are often held after burial.
PPS......Sissy says they are predicting 4-6" snow in Bluefield area. ARGH!
♪♪♫♪♪ Happy Birthday Loretta
Celebrate yourself today & have a
great year ahead
♪♪♫♪♪ Happy Birthday Sunny
Enjoy your special day & hope you have a year ahead that is great
Wanda I send out the b-day list through the Momster's email. It sends to all Momsters using the address that is on Eaglet Momsters Membership.
Please try to go there and edit your profile to change your email address for me.
Well you learn something new. Didn't know service after burial.
Wanda Does that mean when I have sent you emails you haven't been getting them???
Prayers starting RIGHT NOW for poor Sissy!!!
Dana From FB Sissy said:
I am feeling better, only had to take pain pill once last night, none except Aleve and Tylenol today, thank God!!
No, DANA, no emails from you. I am now - - - - - -@comcast.net. Going to see about Momster mail, now.
Thanks, Jo.
Good morning all. Well, it's that time of year again, I'm bringing my laptop to work so I don't miss a hatching.
I hope you are all staying dry. Saw some tenting this morning. Sounds like it's been a busy morning.
Happy birthday Loretta.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A VERY GOOD
THURSDAY MORNING
TO YOU ALL.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Hi, T-Bird...keep your eyes peeled, just a few more days!
Good Morning, Jim...RAINY here in Nestville, but 51°, so we and the eagles can handle it:)
Mornin, Wanda, T-bird.
We are back to the on-shore winds and the moderate clime here in So Cal. Should reach 74°, but it's a chilly 20° to go yet.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Good morning! First let me say
Happy Birthday, Loweeeeeeda! Hope your day is wonderful!
Wanda, send me an email so I have your correct address. Oh, and by the way...keeping a close eye on my WV Columbine. It is looking good and hopefully should bloom this year. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Love the sound coming from the cam. Looks like Lib on the nest? Will be casting my 3 votes this afternoon. Does anyone work at a place with many computers? Ahhh, Shirley! Maybe she can get all teachers to vote. Shirley...call a staff meeting! Now! LOL
Wow, hear the geese?
Hello Jim and T-Bird
Wanda check my email to you
Lolly, I am keeping my fingers crossed for the blooming of my TEXAS columbine, this year! I am praying that they didn't freeze out with all the snow and cold weather! We shall see...
Going to facebook and remind my friends and family to vote!
*********************
HAPPY B-DAY TO
LORETTA!!
Today and all year
round.

Thank you to Everyone for the B'Day Wishes......&.....
Happy Birthday, Sunny!♥
Just checked NBG to see if there will be a hatch & that poor Mom looks like a wet, shaggy dog!Hope chicks stay in their shells today!
We may got out to Red Lobster for dinner if "the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise"!!!!
Will be checking on bears, today too & maybe play w/pictures!!
Lots of pine sprigs on the NBG nest
Dad just did an egg roll
WhoooWheeee...like getting seasick? Watch NBG for a while!
Also, the video of the BWE's 3rd chick hatching is awesome!
Have finished my walking. I was down 10 pounds yesterday! 4/10ths more today. Hip Hip Hooray! We are going out to eat tomorrow and off the diet for this meal. EEEK Hope I do not gain too much!
Now I am off to the kitchen. Baking a cake and preparing fresh fruit. Taking it to church tonight for a ladies meeting.
Then...ta dah!!!! Heading outside, of course.☺
There are our eggs being gently rolled.
Bears are playing. It is mid day. Remember they are heading to the den today...mid day, they said.
Bear cam up...love those little cubs and Hope is so precious. How she is with them too.
Oh Loretta I do so hope you get to go to Red Lobster for your BIRTHDAY ( :
News said: World War I veteran Frank Buckles to be buried Tuesday in Arlington.
The body of Frank Buckles, the West Virginia soldier who outlived every other American who served in World War I, will be buried Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery, a family spokesman said Thursday.
JO, I got it...it's working now!:)
Hello again. Feeling a bit better, but ready for a nap. MAi is sleeping soundly.
PLEASE KEEP VOTING.....but want you to know that I have decided to let the rescue re-home Mai. The behaviorist and I agree that she needs more than I can give her, as far as energy goes. She assures me that I am an excellent owner, and not a failure at all; that there are good matches and not-so good matches. She says that Mai is definitely high-maintenance, maybe even bordering on ADD....she needs a home with more activity, more people, other dogs. If the rescue will allow it, she is interested in taking her herself......MTBD. But thank you all for the support you have given me throughout this. I know that I have bored you to tears with my constant carping. I feel better now that the decision has been made. Don't know about all the logistics yet, but will let you know when I do. Heading for the sofa for awhile.
Oh, Lynn, sorry it's not working out with you and Mai, but I am so glad you have made that wise decision! Mai was pulling you down and making you anxious and frustrated. You KNOW you are not a failure, you have had many other dogs and did well with them. Somehow, I think her answer is to be an outside dog with another dog for a rough housing companion. Hope the trainer is able to adopt her so that you will know how she is working out for her.♥
P.S. More quake action: China and Papua, New Guinea.
Yes, we should keep voting, we started this for YOU and we will see it to the END!
Sounds like somone is outside the den, now.
Hope and one of the cubs are playing...so cute!
Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LORETTA/NATURENUT!!
Hope you have a wonderful day today!
and,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SUNNY! Hope your day is wonderful, too!
Lynn, I sure hope you get to feeling better! Prayers! Hope the kleenex and meds help with that. I'm sure that the lousy weather isn't helping any. Tell Mai for me that she needs to take GOOD CARE of her Mom today! Tell her if she's not behaving, I will have to find a way to travel back there and kick her butt, so to speak!
Glo, hope you get to feeling better, too! I know how bad stopped up sinuses can make you feel. Prayers!
Sissy, hope your dental work feels better today. You have my sympathy, and my prayers for a speedy recovery!
I believe the noise I heard was Lily licking snow or biting those roots.
(((Hugs))) Lynn!! I think your decision is very wise. She has proved to be a huge handful and you have done your very best!! Do NOT feel like a failure as you definitely are not. You have done so very much for Mai.
They have not announced on fb that they are on the way to the den and they usually do that. I think Lily is eating snow. Have not heard any "It's me bear".
Maybe Lily was given some treats?
Lynn, I am glad you are peace with your decision about Mai. I know it was a hard decision. (((Hugs)))
Maybe Lynn forgot to say IT'S ME BEAR and.....:)
Oh, I think Lily is eating the cam:)
Lynn,
I just saw your post about re-homing Mai. I totally agree that you are, and have been, a terrific dog owner! Do NOT feel like a failure! I do think that you have made the right decision, though. Mai has caused you a lot of stress, and far too many physical injuries. I know you have gone through a lot of heartache and guilty feelings in making this decision, but I believe that although Mai will likely turn out to be a good dog for just the right person, she is not the right dog for you. I hope the trainer is able to adopt her, so that you can keep in touch and see how Mai is doing. I agree that having a doggy friend/"sibling" would be a help to her. In any case, you have my TOTAL support!--AND I hope that the perfect dog for you will come along, VERY soon! Prayers that this situation will have the perfect resolution! (((HUGS)))!!!
Those cubs are soooooooooo cute.
Like I said I am anxious to see them
all come out of the den together.
Lynn You are so blessed to have all these understanding friends and supporters! I hope Mai will be happy and that you will be feeling better about her knowing that she is.
There is a whole lot of 'bear' in that den...........
Lynn I know it was a hard decision. Hope the trainer gets to adopt her. If not then the type of family the trainer says Mai needs.
I think you need a "smaller" doggie. With your health problems that you will be able to pick up.
Hugs to you gal and more HUGS to you Lynn
I hope all of you are watching those wonderful bears....and smiling. They are the greatest!
Watching Bear cam~~~there are feet and snouts all over the place! I can hear some, but need to get speakers!!!
Lily is going to have to sit on Hope
so she can take care of Jason and his sister. (I forgot her name)
The little ones sure have their motors going now while feeding.
Does it make you want to go jump in on the fun? Looks like one cozy den!
Faith, Jo.
Thanks Lolly
Faith Hope and
LOVE dem bears!
BWE feeding time
Those little ones' feathers are
darkening.
The bears have tired me out!
Feet up for a few.........
bbilw
They should be getting to the den soon. They left about 30 min ago according to fb.
SUNNY !
I did not mean to leave you out on the Birthday greetings...truth is with internet up and down a lot for me...I was going by memory and did not re-open the birthday memo:
Happy Birthday to you !! Hope it is a bright Sunny Day even though we might have clouds all around ! xoxoxo ☺ ♥
They are at the den!
Heard "It's me bear!"
Lily is out of the den and now they are coaxing Hope out. Love it!
Well all the noise woke me up! Lynn is at the den.....and the cubs were making SO much noise! Don't know why the trip to the den....did anybody see or hear why? Apparently Lily went out.....he's trying to get Hope to come,but she won't! Little ones are sure interested in Me Bear!!! Now Lily is piling back in.
Jason and Faith are being quiet.
dana, got your message. TY. No, don't really feel up to talking----makes me cough.
Their little faces are right there, wondering what is going on,LOL
Now Lily out again. Got some good pics of Hope and the cubs!!!
Mai is awake and needs to go out.....which I could pause the cam and then catch up!
Hope just gets a treat and then backs back down into the den.
Is Lynn maybe wanting to try to collar Hope?
Cubby is quivering....cold? fear?
Not so sure I agree with this disruption.....:(
I know they want to clean the lens. Do not know if they are putting a collar on Lily or not.
Now the outside camera! Wow!
can't watch any of the bear cam action, just what you all are saying about it!
Lynn
I support your decision, appreciate how difficult it is to make that choice, and how very much you have put into Mai's upbringing since welcoming her to your roost on December 4 -
you never bored me to tears, not once...
Peace with your decision...
(( hugs ♥ ))
Lynne I too want to say I so understand and support your decision to help Mai find a more suiting home for her high energy. I also hope that your trainer can adopt her but if not my guess is she can be instrumental with helping to find the right placement for her. Mai doe not hate you though and never has. I agree she needs more run room and even another dog to play with and run off some of that energy. You will both be happier in the long run.
I am sure it was a very tough and long thought out decision. Good for you for doing what is right for both of you.((((Lynn))))
The outside cam is still on Lily. That is one big bear! I think they are gone and not able to clean the lens. Least I never saw them do it. Oh....Hope is out now! Wow!
Now the cam in on the inside. No they did not clean the lens. Cubbies are sleeping.
Now back to the outside cam.
Both bears back inside the den now. Look at all that snow but there is sunshine.
Now back to the inside cam that looks worse then ever.
Well, I thought I saw them go in. I know I did! but the inside cam just shows Hope. Hmmmm????
two adult eagles or one at bwe ?
Outside cam on again. LOL
all brown and and black feathers and white soggy feathers just can't tell with these old eyes
Lily and Hope are playing outside of the den. Also, digging in the snow.
They are wrestling and biting like they do in the den.
just about every teletype coming into our work place right now is about flood warnings, the Potomac, the Monocacy, Rappahannock, and lots of creeks and streams
sure hope, no one has any damage or trouble out of this weather system
need to sign off now...
see you all later on if my internet just happens to be working
xoxo
Thank you all for your loving support. It means more than you will ever know.
Glo, Mai does have run-room....but no grass! Can't grow grass in the woods. Yard WAS mostly moss-covered, but she's torn much of that up!!
Both bears back in the den after a long romp outside. The wrestled each other and dug in the snow. Very interesting.
I guess they want both bears out of the den in order to reach in and wipe the lens. Wonder if they will try another time. I am with you, Lynn. Question the disturbance. Looks like they are going to settle down now. Maybe I can get something done now. Have enjoyed watching this.
Margy, I am sure they will have video tonight.
Lots of nursing sounds going on. Going to leave now.
BBL
I had forgotten that Lily didn't have a collar anymore!!!
Listen to those cubbies----so cute!!
Upset eagle calling....but not in nest!
Dana,
That cardinal vine... Is it an annual? It looks very delicate, with soft vine and leaves. Where do you buy it? It look like the hummingbirds will love it. OhOh There are tose eggs and a slight yell... ogohh something has her going.... The cats are all looking around. Even the dog jumped off the sofa and looked around! Cool!!
And now back.
I like that eagle tush push wiggle wiggle dance.
Cloud burst of rain here. It's coming down pretty hard right now!
Lynn, what a difficult decision for you to have to make yet I believe you did the right thing for you and for Mai. She will have a good home and you will find the right dog for you. And remember that if you can't talk to us in good and bad times, then we are here for nothing.
Wow what did I miss by putting my feet up! I see that the bears have settled down. What a commotion you all saw.
Oh, my Mai----we are in 5th place! Gee......hope lots vote tonight!
Thank you, Suzan. Your words, too, are very soothing. How have you been feeling?? Better, I hope!
Must not be raining at BWE....eaglets are uncovered and appear alone.
Just submitted my vote for Mai.
Hi everyone. Need to catch up.
Happy birthday Loretta. Hope this is the beginning of the best year of your life.
bbl
Chow time our nest.
Fish just brought in, then eagle flew off no switch.
Our 2 eggs look good ( :
Our eagle flew out that was eating. One should be flying in to cover eggs. Yep there one is I guess Liberty.
Hi, Diann! How's your weather? And how are those men treating you?? Given them a broom and a dust rag and put them to work!
Anthem creek has not over flowed yet. Although Conocochgeague is already outside its banks.
lol Hedgie-Lynn where did Diann go...that gal is fast!! lol
Lynn is lady takes Mai. Ask her if she wants the ramp. Same thing as you and me were going to do. She probably won't but ask anyhow. Thanks.
One chick at BWE is partly outside Moms chest.
Wow----raining harder here right now than it has all day! Look out, Belle....it's probably coming your way.
Thought sure we would see Shirley this afternoon! School let out at 1:30 for her.
And STILL no Judie or Lynne......?????????? Come on, ladies----let us know you're okay!
Hmmm...thunder....may have to shut down.....
She lives in Culpeper but school is in Fredericksburg. I know Culpeper schools were closed but was Fredericksburg?
I'm back and caught up, I think.
Before I forget, happy birthday Sunny.
Lynn, you made a difficult decision but I'm sure it was the rigth one for both of you. You did everything you could. I'm still voting until the end.
Wanda, hope you heal fast! Sounds like the doctor I would like to visit. I'm old; not dead!
This weather sucks! The side yard looks like a pond, the sump-pump is running and I haven't looked into the laundry room yet. Guess it's inevitable.
Flood warning is now in effect for the Susquehanna River along it's route. Cresting at Marietta about 5 feet above flood level by Saturday morning. Sure glad Daddy is living on the hill and we're about 1/2 mile from it's edge.
For those dealing with illness, prayers. Is the flu about?
Yesterday I woke up with a stiff neck and fever and aches everywhere. Only remember one other time hurting so badly.
After some tylenol and vicodin the fever broke about 8 pm. Thought today would be better, and it is, but fever starting again.
If I don't stay on or come back later I'll be nursing this .... whatever it is.
God bless!!
I'll ask, Dana....but probably not. She has a low car.
We are really getting HEAVY rain now!!!
Sure hope Paula can get home! 13 roads around Emmitsburg/Thurmont are closed due to flooding!
P.S Lynn. Jim ends his work week today but the other "guys" think I'm still their mother (I'm sure you know what I mean). Love them but don't want to live with them anymore; I want someone to take care of ME!
With everyone on here I don't feel lonesome and neglected. Thanks everyone.
No, Dana, Shirley lives in F'burg and works in Culpeper Co.!
Prayers for Paula or anyone else out in this bad weather. Praying Paula gets home safely.
Hi Diann nice being on here when you are here ( :
Oh so other thing I got backwards huh? Well that's me. Thanks for straighting me out. So I know where Shirley lives.
Oh my our eagle is getting the hard rain. :(
Just saw a wiggle, wiggle our nest. Haven't seen any news about pip or crack yet at NBG.
Lynn, you have our support & sympathies on your situation! You have done everything possible to nuture that puppy, so don't feel bad. I'm sure you'll find a little cuddly like you've had before.
It's looked to me that Mai thinks you ARE another puppy~~maybe she does need siblings. Hope you feel better ASAP!
Oh, Diann, they SHOULD be taking care of you! Sorry you have the bug----yes, it IS going around. Sure hope you can knock it fast.....but stay on top of it. Don't get dehydrated, and if if gets in your chest, get thee to the dr.!! Lynne2 had pneumonia!
Hope your basement doesn't flood. Sounded like they expected it to be especially bad around Allentown, too.....my cuz lives in Bethlehem.
Weather radio keeps going off every couple of minutes. Now flood WARNINGS here, and 40-60 mph winds...and watch for tornados!
My vote just submitted for Mai
Hubby will do his in a few minutes
News just saying bad rain Harpers Ferry, N. VA, but should be moving N & E. Tornado Warning for about 20 more minutes in Warrenton, VA.
I finally got to vote.
BTW, Diann....you are NEVER alone when you are with US!!
Dana, don't worry kid---I'll keep you straight!
Thanks, Lowreeda! How has your b-day been??
I just heard my first thunder so I am going to safely turn off my computer.
bbl
I've got the Thunder in the Valley
Downpour now and getting windy!
All three votes were cast here this afternoon.
Need to get ready to head to church Have AI set to record.
See you all much later.
Yes, Jo, sorry you missed the bears. I am sure they will have a video this evening.
Storm has made cam SO dark!!!
Catch the lightening lighting the nest?????????
Seeing some lightening at the nest
Ooops, that comment was made a little while ago....had to sign in to post
I got to peek in earlier today to see Hope and Lily outside the den, digging in the snow
I can hear the rain hitting the mic tonight.

No flooding at my development yet...usually only during flash floods. The creeks sure were up this morning...too dark tonight to see where they were.
Just saw the lightening and now hearing the thunder...cool
Good evening,
Gaithersburg, Poolesville--Tornado warning!!
Would have been nice if I had gotten to come home early today. Students were released, but not staff. Got some work done while I was there. I actually stayed until about 4:30.
Hunter and I dang nigh blew off the road awhile ago. I guess it was a microburst. I have never been in so bad a storm when I was driving before.
Went looking for "microburst" on the Internet and found a video of a microburst and that's what it was like.
Microburst
We have already been told that we have a delayed opening tomorrow and that they will decide by 6:30 if schools are closed.
Kathryn and Hunter have gone back out to a viewing for the grandfather of one of Kathryn's friends. I did not want her to go, but she thinks the worst of the weather has passed by. I hope so.
I did talk with her after she left, and she said a police cruiser is blocking the road we came home on and she could see a power line that was damaged. So far we have power, though.
I have a battery-powered lantern nearby just in case.
Wouldn't this be wonderful:
Giffords to attend husband's shuttle launch
HOUSTON (AP) — A person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press that U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will attend the launch of her husband's space shuttle in April. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the family and doctors have not yet publicized the decision. A news conference was scheduled for Friday at the Houston hospital where Giffords is undergoing rehab.
that's great news, JO...but I always wonder why someone who wishes to remain anonymous for the reasons stated...feels they have to squeal the news out early !
Good Evening Eagle Pals....!
whatever happened to keeping a secret, secret
???
have a show on with the latest fashion in shoes! Some pretty interesting shoes on there....
just had to take a quick break from the weather news
would make me about 4 inches taller, all of them I have seen so far, wonder how they would look with bib overalls !
Very glad to hear one by one when our Momsters and Dadsters get back to their roosts if they are out in this wild and woolly weather
good to hear from you Shirley...we have been missing you, bet that ride home was a doozy !
Shirley I can't believe the school system releasing the students and not
the teaching staff. I am glad you made it safely. Now that Microburst must have been something else to experience.
Those torrents of rain going sideways
I have seen before but have not been out on the road! I hope Kathryn & Hunter get home safely.
just viewed some of the 69 slides from the slide show at NBG today, takes them a long time to load up on this dinosaur...rain-soaked roosting eagle seen on there
It seems calm here now. I hope it stays calm.
I was shaking when I got home. I thought something had hit the car or I had hit something on the road, but I can's see any damage, but there was a loud bang.
The whole thing was scarier because it was dark. I was really driving blind, but there was no place to pull off the road.
Thought I would watch AI, but the television has just frozen up. Probably because of the weather.
Staff working at a school are just like anyone else working at a job. The kids need to be transported home safely, but the adults are expected to take care of themselves.
I went sight-seeing after work, up and down Park's Gap Mountain, to see Back Creek...including a trip to Swinging Bridge...creek is swollen, and the color of coffee with lots of cream.
Not over the roads - yet - but might be later...
drove in that downpour, in the fog, saw lots of big logs and a lot of debris floating downstream...
by the time I got back to Martinsburg, (NOT up and down the mountain on the way home, took a more civilized route ) visibility on the roads was extremely poor, had the vehicle in all-wheel drive all the way
Passed four large RV vans, some of them self-contained, some pull along trailers...not sure what event they were going to...but they are in for some soggy setting up
lots and lots of standing water, rivulets pouring out into the roadway, this is a dangerous weather system
that's kind of crazy, Shirley...
the kids ARE important but so are the adults...
maybe you drove into a large pothole...
Good grief, Margy. Be careful.
Shirley and Paula, relieved that you are both home safely. That stinks that they let the kids go home and not the staff, Shirley. You're probably in more danger in a car than a big school bus is!
Microbursts are bad......scary!!
4" heels, Margy??? Ankle breakers! And neck breakers if it was me!!
SHOUTING out for Judie and Lynne----yahoo! Where are you????
thinking of you Lynn
and surely am in YOUR corner with you decision regarding Mai...
and I do hope you find the right little pup soon after
Glad that Carolyn could be with you today ♥ and also glad, that she does NOT have to go to work tonight
Dana -
I just had to get out and GO !
Was hoping I could go up to Berkeley Springs to see James, but that was not a good idea with the weather conditions...
lots of run off on the roads going to his roost...
maybe, tomorrow but the latest forecast does not seem to support that idea either :(
some interesting light effects now and then at Blackwater Eagle nest
I was not aware of thunder or lightning when I was out...and I was headed back just after dark
Just the other day we were talking about the time a tornado hit the county just after the school buses left. They turned all of the buses around and brought them back. There were even some elementary school kids in the group. They brought them all into the school and told the handful of teachers still in the building that we needed to stay until the kids were sent home.
Fortunately, no tornado hit the school and it did not take too awfully long to get the kids sent on their way.
okay
I have the 12-hour shifts coming up - starting this week-end
8 am to 8 pm both days
so I am going to be like lots of my co-workers after all
You can BET I will have the eagle cams going at work!
Liked T-Bird's comment earlier about taking her laptop now all the time to keep an eye on the prospective hatchlings ☺
Happy birthday to Loretta and Sunny!
Lynne and Judie, where are you?
scary Shirley!
I remember one time, in grade school, having some kind of drill where we huddled underneath our desks...
not sure if it was for tornado, or bombs...
it was in that late 1950's
I also remember, the blackout curtains...my parents had them, glad we never had to use them
just checked WV closings and delays, none posted yet
but there is now also a link for private schools and colleges
I didn't check those out yet
would like to know how
Megan
is faring in this deluge
think I'll check out the bear cams and ...
see you all a little later on

Good evening, everyone.
Happy Birthday, Lowreeda♥ Hope you were able to go out to dinner tonight.
Happy Birthday, Sunny.
Shirley, and all others, relieved to know you are all safe tonight after the dreadful rain.
Drove to school and then the dermatologist who worked his magic with the liquid nitrogen. Driving was a bit iffy at times as visibility was not good.
School is over for me as Spring Break is next week. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up a bit more between grading papers and creating the final exam.
Sure hope the eaglets-to-be hold off until the nest dries out a bit but am anxious to have them join the world.
Lynn, I am deeply sorry about the very difficult decision you have had to make but I believe it is the right one. Sending a huge hug your way.
Will return sometime tomorrow morning. Turning my light off early but will leave the night light on for others. Please everyone stay safe and dry.
Um, doing a Margy.
Sissy, hope your "toothless" mouth is not hurting!
Margy, hiding under the desk was a bomb drill during the Korean Conflict.
Okay, really am turning my light off now. Back tomorrow morning.
Okay, Mai will be with me until the 19th. The foster mom will come pick her up that day. I CAN survive another week.....can't I????
Yes, I think you can Hedgie...
truly, I do
and there's Judie checking in with a statement to return in the morning...
nice! to have Spring Break next week !
less than 10 posts until SPLIT TIME
but this is my last until after that happens
...later...
Margy, the duck and cover under the desks was for both tornado and bomb attacks!! Remember them well!!! Sorry----how DID you get snagged for the 12's after all??
I was able to watch the video from today's trip to the den - Those little cubs are so adorable. They had quite a time and wasn't so good to run out of grapes!
Den Visit
I am off to watch TV for 2 hr.
Will check in during commercials.
Sorry if some of you can't get my link

Lynn, I just read back and saw what you said about your decision to let Mai go to another home. I know Mai does not hate you, but I understand your decision fully, and I fully support you.
God bless.
I am sure you can survive another week, Lynn.
